yesterday's decision marks the first time that a major city in india closed all of its schools and movie theaters. the move was prompted by a rising number of swine flu cases and deaths. the number of reported cases in india stands at around 1,200. at least 2,100 people are reported to have died. however, with a population of over 1 billion people, the percentage of cases in india is low when compared to countries elsewhere. some have blamed aggressive coverage of the outbreak by the media for creating an atmosphere of alarm. >>> to try to make sense of the global swine flu pandemic, just how dangerous it really is, we've invited back dr. martin blaser to join us tonight. he is the past president of the infectious disease society of america and is the chair of the department of medicine at new york university school of medicine. as we just heard, the swine flu is spreading quite rapidly around the world. but the global death count, which right now i believe is at 1,500, remains relatively low. so just how dangerous is the disease? >> i think as you point, it's spreading all over the worl

., the first was the city of troy, new york. beijing, troy. what gibney said, to my surprise, was that he'd take troy any day. now, i went to high school near troy, and the place has seen better days. but gibney found an innovative manufacturer there he thought was worth an investment. he couldn't say the same of beijing, even though beijing has a much faster growing economy. but it doesn't have the american culture of entrepreneurship. gibney says the chinese are simply not focused on innovation. this is no knock on them: its more profitable to absorb technology from the west than to create it. in america, by contrast, there's no choice. to succeed, you have to take risks. it's expected. more important, our culture enables it. korea and germany, other places with lot of smart, hard-working people, have few entrepreneurs, partly out of fear of failure. there, it's a disgrace. here, to quote randy komisar, another v.c., failure is just a ticket to a second try. having an entrepreneurial culture doesn't give us a free pass in global competition.

the city's first bishop, st. denis, holds his head in his hands. when christianity began making converts here, the pagan romans beheaded him. but according to legend, denis just picked up his head and kept on going. inspired by this miracle, christianity flourished, and the temple was replaced by a church. imagine the faith of the people who built this, breaking ground in 1163 on a building which wouldn't be finished for 200 years. gothic architects incorporated the latest technology, flying buttresses, to support the heavy rooftop. its ghoulish gargoyles multitask. they serve as fancy rain spouts and scare away the evil spirits. the church is dedicated to "our lady," or notre dame. mary cradles the baby jesus. the rose window provides a majestic halo. the virgin mary was highly revered throughout the middle ages. the faithful petitioned her in times of trouble for both comfort and, through her intervention, god's mercy. as worshippers headed for mass, they'd walk under a relief of judgment day. christ sits on his throne, the trumpet sounds, all ar
